CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER
I have got to congratulate all the guys and state and federal public officials who have been a part of this monumental change in Michigan Law and ATF/NFA Federal Transfer Approval Protocols. First off, thank you to my good friend Kerry Morgan without who's help this never would have happened. Myself and Kerry go way back to the Gun Stock Michigan Days at Freedom Hill and the Gun Owners of Macomb County educating people and fighting for our gun rights. Thanks to the Michigan NFA email group for their critique without which we may not have been critical ourselves. Thanks MOST OF ALL to MY ATTORNEY GENERAL MIKE COX for his clear thinking and well thought out opinion on a very complicated issue. For his political courage to issue an opinion that was certainly controversial but absolutely legal, and correct! In hindsight we probably should have incorporated the silencer issue in to the question. We didn't because we wanted a clear opinion on transferable machine guns. Thank You Robert Ianni of the Michigan Attorney General's Office for assisting in making inquiry on our behalf and for the moral support in our quest to move the ATFE Detroit Legal Counsel and the ATF in general. Thanks to the ATF Detroit Legal Counsel whom I emailed a nice apology for going over her head. She has not replied back! I don't know what that means. Thank You NFA Chief Kenneth Houchens and Chief Counsel James Vann for putting up with myself and Kerry being a major pain. And for your part in writing that position paper. WELL DONE! Thanks for getting the transfers moving! Also sorry about stepping on the toes but I never learned how to waltz and I do make mistakes! Thanks NFA-Dan for the advice you were able to provide. Please convey my thanks to all the examiners, staff, and Chief Houchens especially for putting up with what I expect has been a rough time with all the inquiries and phone calls from Michigan people. I think there are other thanks to be made to a couple of Michigan Congress people although I have not received any confirmation from them that they acted on our behalf. Should I find out otherwise I shall thank them as well! To anybody I missed, my thanks again. We have found new LIBERTY! Please guard it JEALOUSLY! Thank You, Michael P. Sessa |

Th only thing I can tell you is read the statute and you tell me if you see any holes in it. My Attorney see's it the way I do. I have not queried the AG's staff as to what they think. I have only worked to help ATFE and NFA come to a rational and legal understanding of the law by asking the AG for a clarification. Now it looks as though ATFE has explicitly asked for clarification on all things NFA.

Could this open the door for anything else besides MG's & suppressors? |

Not sure of exactly everything they want a decision on but I expect Bomb or Bomb Shell has something to do with it, federally transferable artillery pcs if you will. Good question though. I have not seen ATF's request however I do understand it was submitted thru State Rep. Leon Drolet!
To answer the armedbrother - you will be able to possess transferable MG's as a private person after completing the federal requirements to transfer such item $200 tax paid to ATF, 2 sets FBI Fingerprints, 2 Photo's, Citizenship form and Form 4 in duplicate and a long wait while they process all your paper before you can possess the gun. After approval by the Director of ATF the approved form 4 shall serve as your license to possess said item in Michigan. That's the law. Prior to this a private person wishing to possess MG's was required at a minimum to apply to ATF for a Curio's and Relics FFL license which allowed the licensed person to possess C&R MG's at most, none of the really cool MG's such as the MAC's, Uzi's, MP5's etc. |

BustOff, so, what's on your list of things to buy?
 I know I've at least got a MAC11 and a few suppressors in my near future.

Well I was considering an M11/9 but now I'm thinking a bigger step like maybe a full size vector UZI, a Gemtech Viper suppressor for the MAC 10 as long as the silencer thing comes thru ok. I'm thinking of putting the SW 76 and all its accessories up for sale to fund the UZI.
And then again as an insurance factor I need to get the AG re-elected, we cannot loose him in the November election to some anti gun democrat fool. We need to talk it up with all our gun brothers across this state as to how important this election will be and how good Mike Cox has turned out to be. |

BustOff,
Thanks for all your hard work.. I am wondering if we can get a comprehensive list of Class 3 dealers in MI? I have been checking ,and since we are so new to this - not much info!! I am Northern Lower,most likely nothing real close for me.. I am pondering the choice between the Mac11/9 or up to the Uzi..  First-I am going to do the LLC route.. I know there are internet sites to do this-does' anyone have a reccomendation? Once again,Thanks for all your time and work on this!! Thanks to you,A future MG owner, Brenden |

Yeah - good point, But an incompetant fool such as Kelly is and was responsible for most of our problems. Would not take a new AG 15 minutes to write a crap opinion trashing this one. But the AG did a great job it is damn near boilerplate.
Oh - yeah, I hear the first mg approval has taken place, an HK sear gun or sear. Now mine is being kicked back because of that CLEO thing I talked about. When getting your CLEO cert make sure you read that instruction #17 on the back about CLEO certification. In my case the Macomb County Sheriffs delegate the undersheriff signs the form. Make sure if a delegate is doing it that you print the name of the Sheriff and the Sheriff's title followed by the word "by" then the delegates FULL signature followed by his title and date. The Sheriffs secretary told me they have done it this way for years and it has always been acceptable. I told her ATF was making me jump thru the hoops! There's damn near not enough room on the line for it all - but if you don't get it right they could send your form back and delay you like their doing me. |

Really, can you elaborate a little more about the conversation. Why would they need to send you a form 4?

Your buddy needs to re-read his Michigan Compiled Laws.
Machine guns are covered in a completely different section of law from SBRs andd SBSs. The only way these will ever be allowed is if the laws are changed. The new legal opinion did not open SBRs for ownership. |

Yes C&R designated SBR's are legal. SBR's are prohibited to all Michigan persons including dealers and manufacturers unless they are specifically classified as C&R by the Director of the BATFE.

Bust off is right. You have to ask the right question of ATF. Only C&R SBR's are legal to C&R license holders. Good luck in finding a C&R SBR.
